This skill keeps OpenClaw updated by running a nightly cron job that executes an external shell script — so the update works even when the gateway restarts.
The agent can't run commands while the gateway is restarting. We use a standalone shell script that runs independently of the agent.
Tell me "change update time to [time]" and I'll update the cron schedule.
